About the Item
1805 Handcolored Engraving of Egyptian Monuments from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder"
Description: This remarkable handcolored engraving from 1802 depicts two iconic views of ancient Egyptian monuments. The upper image showcases the Colossi of Memnon, the towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III near Luxor, while the lower image features an exploration scene of the Great Sphinx of Giza, highlighting its grandeur during early 19th-century expeditions.
Taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's renowned "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), this plate combines artistic beauty with historical significance. Bertuch’s 12-volume encyclopedia, published between 1790 and 1830 in Weimar, sought to educate children through intricate illustrations covering topics such as natural history, world cultures, and mythology. This engraving is a testament to Enlightenment-era curiosity about the ancient world and early archaeological efforts.
Ideal for collectors of Egyptology prints or historical engravings, this artwork offers a glimpse into early representations of Egypt’s enduring monuments. Its delicate hand-coloring and rich historical context make it a fascinating and rare find for enthusiasts of cultural history.
Condition: Good condition with light foxing and minor age-related wear, typical for its age.
